PAULA ETHANS

GENERAL OFFICER, BOARD OF DIRECTORS

With expertise in international human rights and public law, Paula has dedicated her career to advocating for systemic, transformative change and dismantling oppressive institutions.  

Paula’s varied work with NGOs, governments, and law firms around the world has equipped her with a comprehensive understanding of strategic litigation, systems navigation, and innovative advocacy. After interning with the Organization for Refuge and Asylum (ORAM) in Tel Aviv and Istanbul, and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) in Kuala Lumpur, Paula was the Kreuzberg Kinderstiftung Fellow at the European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) in Berlin. Today, Paula works as legal counsel for the Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth (MACY).  

When not working, you can find Paula hiking, canoeing, cross-country skiing, laughing very loudly, dancing in empty rooms, and travelling to far flung locales.
